Monday January 28, 2018 | 6:00PM - 8:00PM: Understanding Taxes for Artists - Location: The Rotunda, 4014 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107 ———————————————————————— Tax season can be scary, especially for artists, sole-proprietors, and small businesses. We’re here to help! Whether you’re receiving grants, financially profiting from your art, self-employed or have an LLC, you must file taxes. But, what are the best filing options for your situation? CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia, Leeway Foundation, and Vision Driven Artists have teamed up to help demystify tax season! With over 25 years of experience working with artists and small businesses, tax consultant Christianne Kapps will offer instruction and advice, and help explain some of the more confusing tax subjects for artists. In addition, Christianne will break down the City of Philadelphia’s Business Income and Receipts Tax and how it affects artists.

Art Lesson: Erasers Day 4/6 in the books. Melody Gardot, Madeleine Peryroux, Mark Knopfler, and Norah Jones... they are the solution. Worked the torso and put in some rough values for the legs. Will finish the legs and arms on day 5 and the head on day 6. There are many kinds of erasers. We tend to use just two: Kneaded Erasers. These are the gray puddy like ones that you can stretch and tear and mush back together again. Kneaded erasers let you "pull" graphite off the paper. You don't even have to rub the paper - just dab the surface and it will take off graphite. They are a bit aggressive at erasing so we tend to just use them early in the drawing when we're making broad sweeping gestures. They can be squished into small points too for detail work. A hidden benefit is also that they do not leave eraser bits on the paper. Pencil Erasers. What? Yes, these are pencils, but instead of graphite, they contain standard pink erasers. Your sharpen them with a pencil sharpener. They are great for two things: being precise and manipulating values. They don't take off nearly as much as a kneaded eraser so you can use them gently to gradually pull up values. The downside, though, is that they leave behind all those pesky little eraser bits. Wipe them with your hand and you end up smearing your drawing. I need a small electric blower for xmass! #studioincamminati#studio_incamminati #artschool#artlesson#figure#figurative#fineart#drawnfromlife#lifedrawing#realism#instaart#graphite#pencil @strathmoreart #model#nude#contemporaryrealism#representationalart#study#phillyart#phillyartist

What a great day to check out the fifth floor in Atria Center City 🌞 Here is Phyllis Anderson’s Alpenglow. “Phyllis Anderson has been painting for nearly three decades. Her current series, High Country Variations, explores expressionist and abstracted versions of western landscapes. Every year for the last decade, she has spent several weeks in Colorado and this personal connection inspired the pieces in this show. She explores different ways of seeing the landscape, from the straightforward depiction of “Byers Peak February,” to the scribbles of “Study, Variation #2,” where a single pink line stands in for a mountain range. Throughout the Variations series, dancing color and the immediacy of the gesture illustrate the power & energy found in remote places, and celebrate the transformative possibility inherent in the wilderness experience. “
